Postdoctoral Fellow

I am a medical anthropologist studying communication and teambuilding among humans, specifically operating room staff. Because social rank is so clearly defined in biomedicine and because the risks/rewards of surgery are so great, this is environment is ripe for studying conflict and conflict resolution. Prior to this fellowship, I held another in the Department of Surgery in the School of Medicine. I spent two years studying culture change in an intensive care unit.

In graduate school at Rice University, I researched and taught about the convoluted union of evolutionary medicine and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
